You think you know me
Word on the street is that you do
You want my history
What others tell you won't be true
I walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep
Nobody's really seen my million subtleties
Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
I hear you talking
Well, it's my turn now
I'm talking back
Look in my eyes
So you can see just where I'm at
I walked a thousand miles to find one river of peace
I walked a million more to find out what this shit means
Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
I'm a bad ass girl in this messed up world
I'm the sexy girl in this crazy world
I'm a simple girl in a complex world
A nasty girl, you wanna get with me?
You wanna mess with me?
Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
I laugh more than I cry
You piss me off, good-bye (good-bye)
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
艾希莉·辛普森(Ashlee Simpson)的歌很流行,有点像之前从美国偶像(American Idol)中出来的Kelly clarkson,幸好她和姐姐杰西卡·辛普森太流行的唱片相比还是有一些不同,仿佛一个经过糖衣包装的艾薇儿,披着一袭流行摇滚的华丽袍子。
《Pieces of me》(艾点滴)是各大媒体热推的作品,动人且略带哀怨的情歌,在爱中迷失的心情受到男友Ryan的影响。有评论认为这首歌比艾薇儿与男友一起创作的《I'm With You》有更深的内涵。《Love Makes the World Go Round》对于道貌岸然的谎言,从来都不需要认真,一旦揭穿,调头就走。艾希莉在歌中也唱出了年轻人对恋爱斩钉截铁的决断态度。《La La》疾风劲雨式的摇滚节奏让人看到艾薇儿之外又一全新女性摇滚势力的诞生,这首歌体现了艾希莉的性感与力度。把厨房地板上做爱的幻想和略带SM的受虐情绪隐晦表露,却带着暴风骤雨般的激情,也是整张专辑中最震撼和最有力量的一曲。
艾希莉包办了这张唱片的创作,听着Janis Joplin、Steve Nicks、Pat Benatar、The Pretenders、Blondie、Fiona Apple、Hole、GreenDay长大的她比姐姐有着更深厚的摇滚情结,这也是当今女新人能突围而出的一条新路,艾薇儿的成功为不少人树立了榜样,在这个坏女孩更吃香的年代,外表甜美性感的艾希莉也不乏黑暗之作,在《影子》(Shadow)中唱家庭分裂的阴影、在点题曲《我就是我》(Autobiography)中唱女性的独立宣言“i walked a million more to find what this shit means/got stains on my t-shirt and i’m the biggest flirt”(跋山涉水、寻寻觅觅、受过伤、从黑暗中走出,找到一个风情万种却坚强独立的自己)。在前奏带着暗Trip-hop味道的《Unreachable》中唱无法抵达的爱、内心挣扎的残酷。
艾希莉有比小甜甜那同样闯荡乐坛的妹妹更优秀的才华,但和艾薇儿相比,她还是太乖、太漂亮、不够反叛,要走一条摇滚的路,也不仅仅是把眼睛涂黑、打领带、穿白衬衣七分裤、和滑板少年混帮就可以解决问题,更重要的是,从骨子里散发的那种颓废和张狂的感觉,在今天新人辈出的美国流行乐坛,在R&B和Hip hop/Rap大行其道的同时,艾希莉逐渐摆脱了姐姐的影子,但还要凸显自己的个性。夹杂在流行和摇滚中的同类商品数不胜数,也许新鲜的面孔可以使首周销量逾40万,但如果艾希莉真的要摇滚下去,还要让自己再坏一点,再放一些。
